Trail Overview
Bumpy, colorful, vast, and adventurous, this hidden dirt road in historic ranching country gives stunning rewards for those willing the take the time to get around the bend. As Last Dollar Road winds through a low valley surrounded by jagged peaks and deep-blue skies, each bend delivers jaw-dropping scenery. At one turn you'll find yourself in a cathedral of sun-bathed aspens; at another, a flat vista with views of a quilt-like terrain of furry pines and aspens; turn again, and you're in a wide-open grassy field, where pristine nature is the only thing between you and the San Juan Mountains.

Trail is easily doable in any Subaru or similar vehicle. We even saw a family do it in an Audi Q5. Great views at the summit with a ramp if you dare to take it.
